Continuous Labour Migration Reporting System for the Americas

SICREMI

A system for the generation of exact and timely information on migration, based on the SOPEMI model launched by the OECD for its member states in 1994.

The information it gathers describes migration trends, population changes, and the demographic profile of immigrants.

The information comes from various national sources, and the system organizes it in a homogeneous and standardized way.

Page 11: 1 Continuous Labour Migration Reporting System for the Americas SICREMI Araceli Azuara Ferreiro RIAL Workshop on Labour Migration and Labour Market Information.

Each year, a standard request for data to prepare the national report is sent to the national correspondents.

The request includes an Excel file with national statistics.

Correspondents return the information to the OAS, where it is processed.

The information is fed into the OAS migration database: SICREMI.

How does SICREMI work?

Project Phases

Phase I. Pilot Program

The countries proposed for the pilot phase are those that already have information systems to facilitate the ordering and standardization of the information. Preference will be given to countries with typical emigration, transmigration, and immigration patterns.

Phase II. Program generation and replication in 14 countries.

Phase III. Incorporation of the remaining countries into the program.

The main contribution of SICREMI will be a better understanding of migration flows and trends, changes in the migrant population and its make-up, and the situation faced by migrant workers and their families in the labour market. This will be of great value in preparing studies and designing migration policies.
